Caption contest: WiMAX hits store shelves in Bosnia

Sometimes, you want more than just wide-area broadband. Sometimes you want the downy softness that only "WiMAX" can bring. We're not totally sure what this is, but we're almost positive it will not deliver speedy downloads and near-limitless connectivity.

Paul: "Sprint's brilliant plan for rolling out WiMAX coverage on the cheap only had one fatal flaw..."
Chris: "Considered key to XOHM's success, Sprint's first stab at a steampunk Hello Kitty WiMAX router yields mixed results."
Josh T: "WiMAX: use color-safe bleach only, tumble dry."
Josh F: "For those lighter 2-bar days."
Ittousai: "WE DEMAND MORE PAMUK!"
Nilay: "17.45 for WiMAX? Outrageous!"
Dante: "Suddenly, that failed Australian WiMAX rollout, makes much more sense..."
Richard: "Because really, who buys their WiMAX off the rack?"

[Thanks, Srle]

they both suck...sorry bro. not funny.

[nXt Posted Apr 17th 2008 8:19PM]

Dude, for a second I thought they were Maxipads.
(testing if my comments show up, they didn't on the bank robber/cellphone one)

I don't see the problem. It is quite clearly for wireless coverage.

No WIres, MAX coverage. Guaranteed no loss of threads, and comes with its own packet! Warning: Moisture may affect performance.

Wimax should be made out of hemp, not cotton.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 17th 2008 8:39PM]

looks like WiMAX has gone two sheets to the wind...

[Ethan Posted Apr 17th 2008 10:41PM]

Love it.

"Now with 100% pamuk"

[Worldctzen Posted Apr 17th 2008 8:42PM]

Wow.. WiMax really does have better coverage than my cellphone provider..

[Rasec Posted Apr 17th 2008 8:42PM]

The uBot-5 picture deserved the caption contest more than this.

oh, right, my caption:
"Portable internet just got a little less portable"

So when I said that a dozen or so comments above already, that wasn't good enough because why??

Apparently the Bosnian WiMAX Marketing Team needs to sleep on it...

With the US economy slipping into recession, struggling Sprint stretches their branding into new markets.

WiMAX. Cover fire. Quickly remove. Commence long range communications.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 17th 2008 9:32PM]

WiMax, now with 100% Pamuk for increased speeds...

Plahta's Gumom?!? I thought she was Plahta's Gusister! AWKWARD!!!

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 17th 2008 10:55PM]

Much better than those cheap 50% pamuk ones!

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 17th 2008 11:31PM]

Wimax, protecting you from sniper fire since 1996.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 18th 2008 12:51AM]

dang, i only get 25% pamuk from here

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 18th 2008 1:12AM]

"Dry Clean only"
"Use for $29.99 a month"

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 18th 2008 2:20AM]

Plahta is not a table sheet, it is a bed sheet.
Guma is rubber, but in this case, it is rubber band.(like one in your underware)
So, Plahta s gumom means - bed sheet with rubber band, where the rubber band ensures that sheet is tight around mattres of the bed.

At last 100% Blanket WiMax coverage, and they told us that wouldnt happen for years!

"Sprint to release update for flawed Wimax beta service"

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 18th 2008 11:42AM]

Hey bub, can you wipe your ass with mere WiFi? I don't think so! And don't get me started on wired Ethernet; ohhhhh the rash.

[Generic Posted Apr 18th 2008 9:45AM]

$17.45 for the best WiMAX coverage

[idlemind1999 Posted Apr 18th 2008 11:19AM]

"You said you wanted coverage you could bring anyplace."

[idlemind1999 Posted Apr 18th 2008 11:22AM]

"In Soviet Russia, WiMax cover YOU!"

Ignorance has been taken to a whole new level thanks idlemind!
jebote

Its a joke... ala Yakov Smirnoff

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakov_Smirnoff

Sorry if my harsh brand of stolen humor irritates the posh smoothness that is your cerebral cortex.

[(Unverified) Posted May 6th 2008 12:38AM]

Take a look at a mapl, and tell me if Bosnia is anywhere near Russia. I know who Yakov Smirnoff is, I am pointing out that a joke about Russia has nothing to do with Bosnia. Look at a map of south-east Europe if you need to verify this. I idi u picku materinu, hvala

[overflow Posted Apr 20th 2008 9:58PM]

FYI. pamuk is the turkish word for cotton.
